  • 82-year-old Willie Murphy is a bodybuilder at her local gym.
  • When a young man broke into her home, she quickly sprung into action and beat him up. 
  • Her friends at the gym love this story.

 

One intruder picked the wrong house to break into. Recently, someone tried to break into 82-year-old Willie Murphy’s home. She lives alone, but luckily, she is a bodybuilder! She spends most of her time working out and lifting weights at her local gym.

She said one evening a young man knocked on her door. He said he was sick and asked her to call 911. She called for help but did not let the man inside. However, he broke down the door and came in her house anyway! She quickly picked up a table and started hitting him with it. She said the table soon broke.

When he fell over, she started jumping on him. The police quickly arrived at the scene. Willie said she “really did a number on that man.” Police say that he was intoxicated and was taken to the hospital. Willie did not end up pressing charges but loves to tell the story to her friends at the gym.
